I know that parking has long been a concern for all of Bricktown. However I would like to direct this thread to the particular case of Harkins Bricktown 16 theater. The theater advertises hundreds of free parking spaces, and theoretically this is true. However Bricktown patrons of other venues have long ago discovered that using the spaces around the theater is an answer to their parking woes since the area is not monitored and it's a short walk to almost anywhere else in Bricktown. Thus as time goes by it gets harder and harder for theater patrons to find a parking space---on nights when the Hornets are playing, forget about it!!! And as further development takes place in lower Bricktown, the problem will only get worse.
I think Oklahoma City is fortunate to have a movie complex in its downtown core, something very few other major cities have, and I would hate to see the parking problem become so severe that it threatens the very future of the the theater. Certainly no movie theater can survive without free parking. I don't have a solution to the problem myself and don't know if the management of the theater has expressed concern, but wonder if others have given any thought to this question.
